Not really asking for help, just want opinions. Not sure what I wanna do. If you refer to my cycle log, this coming sat is my last day of dbol. I ran it 20/50/50/50. Now, I have 45 Tabs left, each 20mg. What shall I do with them??? What would youuuu do?
So should this be the point where I rag on you for posting something "stupid" as you previously stated in a different thread that you don't post stupid things? Or should I just stop now?
NAC is not enough, not even close. Milk thistle has no studies behind it proving that it helps whatsoever with the detoxification of the liver while using AAS. It's an old wise tale that has been forever linked in "brology" and is outdated.
You and I have a clean slate. No worries from me and I hold no grudges.
You SHOULD be using Tylers Detoxification Factors or Liv52 (which I have never used but trusted people I know have and they swear by it).
NAC is not enough, not even close. Milk thistle has no studies behind it proving that it helps whatsoever with the detoxification of the liver.
I'm sure you dont truly believe a supplement that's been used for over 2,000 years has 0 studies proving any efficiency of the product.

I agree, Liv52 would be a great addition to any harsh orals, but its not 100% necessary. Ill live without
First, this isn't even a study and second it shows nothing about the use of an oral AAS compound.
Youre right, its multiple references of studies or research done that includes Milk Thistle. Not gonna argue with you about it man, MT has been proven multiple times, weather related to the use of AAs or liver cancer or other liver related issues, and some times its been questioned. Either way it will do what I need it to do, and ill be happy
